天然气资源丰富,其中主要成分为甲烷.以甲烷为原料开发化工产品一直引起人们的重视.1982年Keller首先提出甲烷氧化偶联制乙烯、乙烷的催化过程,为开拓廉价乙烯原料路线提供了新的可能途径,从而引起各国催化工作者的重视.近年来,此催化过程的乙烯及乙烷的收率(y_(02))已提高到10—30%之间.各国都在努力开发活性高及选择性好的催化剂,促使此催化过程工业化。本文研究了Li-Nd-Zn-Mg氧化物甲烷氧化偶联催化剂,对反应条件进行了初步考察,乙烯及乙烷的收率y_(02)达到30.8%。

甲烷/甲醇光催化转化研究进展

在能源需求不断上涨及石油供应日益紧张的背景下,开展对煤、天然气或生物质等非油基资源(CO、CO_2、CH_3OH、CH_4等)的高效利用显得尤为重要。C_1小分子(CO、CO_2、CH_3OH、CH_4等)经催化转化可得到燃料及多种化学品,一直受到学术界及工业界的广泛关注。甲烷/甲醇作为重要的C_1平台分子,其催化转化在C_1化学中占据重要地位。为了提高目标产物的选择性,需要有效地控制甲烷/甲醇中C―H键的活化。传统热催化作为甲烷/甲醇最常见的转化方法发展已久,但仍然面临着反应条件苛刻、能耗大、产率和选择性低等问题。光催化反应通过引入光能弥补反应中吉布斯自由能的上升,同时具有反应条件温和、操作简单、能耗低等特点,从而为甲烷/甲醇转化提供了新的途径。通过调节光的波长、强度以及催化剂的氧化能力可以实现甲烷/甲醇的选择性转化,减少副产物的生成。此外,光催化能够选择性活化甲醇的C―H键而非O―H键,从而实现甲醇的C―C偶联反应。本文主要围绕甲烷/甲醇的重整、氧化和偶联反应,总结近年来的光催化转化进展,并对进一步提高光催化性能做了展望。

多次碰撞条件下金阳离子诱导的甲烷碳―碳偶联

The reactivity of atomic metal cations toward CH₄ has been extensively investigated over the past decades. Closed-shell metal cations in electronically ground states are usually inert with CH₄ under thermal collision conditions because of the extremely high stability of methane. With the elevation of collision energies, closed-shell atomic gold cations (Au⁺) have been reported to react with CH₄ under single-collision conditions to produce AuCH₂⁺, AuH⁺, and AuCH₃⁺ species. Further investigations found that the ion-source-generated AuCH₂⁺ cations can react with CH₄ to synthesize C―C coupling products. These previous studies suggested that new products for the reaction of Au⁺ with CH₄ can be identified under multiple-collision conditions with sufficient collision energies. However, the reported ion-molecule reactions involving methane were usually performed under single- or multiple-collision conditions with thermal collision energies. In this study, a new reactor composed of a drift tube and ion funnel is constructed and coupled with a homemade reflectron time-of-flight mass spectrometer. Laser-ablation-generated Au⁺ ions are injected into the reactor and drift 120 mm to react with methane seeded in the helium drift gas. The reaction products and unreacted Au⁺ ions are focused through the ion funnel and accumulate through a linear ion trap and are then detected by a mass spectrometer. In the reactor, the pressure is approximately 100 Pa, and the electric field between the drift tube and ion funnel can regulate the collision energies between ions and molecules. The reaction of the closed-shell atomic Au⁺ cation with CH₄ is investigated, and the C―C coupling product AuC₂H₄⁺ is observed under multiple-collision conditions with elevated collision energies. Density functional theory calculations are performed to understand the mechanism of the coupling reaction (Au⁺+ 2CH₄ → AuC₂H₄⁺ + 2H₂). Two pathways involving Au―CH₂ and Au―CH₃ species can separately mediate the C―C coupling process. The activation of the second C―H bond in each process requires additional energy to overcome the relatively high barrier (2.07 and 2.29 eV). Ion-trajectory simulations under multiple-collision conditions are then conducted to determine the collisional energy distribution in the reactor. These simulations confirmed that the electric fields between the drift tube and ion funnel could supply sufficient center-of-mass kinetic energies to facilitate the C―C coupling process to form AuC₂H₄⁺. The following catalytic cycle could then be postulated: $\mathrm{AuC}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{4}^{+}+\mathrm{CH}_{4} \stackrel{\Delta}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{AuCH}_{4}^{+}+\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{4}, \mathrm{AuCH}_{4}^{+}+\mathrm{CH}_{4} \stackrel{\Delta}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{AuC}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{4}^{+}+2 \mathrm{H}_{2}$, and $\mathrm{CH}_{4} \stackrel{\mathrm{Au}^{+}, \Delta}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{4}+2 \mathrm{H}_{2}$. Thus, this study enriches the chemistry of both gold and methane.     

钒硼双原子阳离子活化甲烷研究

Methane activation by transition metal species has been extensively investigated over the past few decades. It is observed that ground-state monocations of bare 3d transition metals are inert toward CH₄ at room temperature because of unfavorable thermodynamics. In contrast, many mono-ligated 3d transition metal cations, such as MO⁺ (M = Mn, Fe, Co, Cu, Zn), MH⁺ (M = Fe, Co), and NiX⁺ (X = H, CH₃, F), as well as several bis-ligated 3d transition metal cations including OCrO⁺, Ni(H)(OH)⁺, and Fe(O)(OH)⁺ activate the C―H bond of methane under thermal collision conditions because of the pronounced ligand effects. In most of the above-mentioned examples, the 3d metal atoms are observed to cooperate with the attached ligands to activate the C―H bond. Compared to the extensive studies on active species comprising of middle and late 3d transition metals, the knowledge about the reactivity of early 3d transition metal species toward methane and the related C―H activation mechanisms are still very limited. Only two early 3d transition metal species HMO⁺ (M = Ti and V) are discovered so far to activate the C―H bond of methane via participation of their metal atoms. In this study, by performing mass spectrometric experiments and density functional theory calculations, we have identified that the diatomic vanadium boride cation (VB⁺) can activate methane to produce a dihydrogen molecule and carbon-boron species under thermal collision conditions. The strong electrostatic interaction makes the reaction preferentially proceed the V side. To generate experimentally observed product ions, a two-state reactivity scenario involving spin conversion from high-spin sextet to low-spin quartet is necessary at the entrance of the reaction. This result is consistent with the reported reactions of 3d transition metal species with CH₄, in which the C―H bond cleavage generally occurs in the low-spin states, even if the ground states of the related active species are in the high-spin states. For VB⁺ + CH₄, the insertion of the synergetic V―B unit (rather than a single V or B atom) into the H₃C―H bond causes the initial C―H bond activation driven by the strong bond strengths of V―CH₃ and B―H. The mechanisms of methane activation by VB⁺ discussed in this study may provide useful guidance to the future studies on methane activation by early transition metal systems.     

单个金或银原子掺杂的氧化钒团簇上的甲烷活化反应

运用密度泛函理论系统研究了甲烷在MV_3O_y~q (M=Au/Ag,y=6–8,q=0或±1)团簇上的吸附和活化。研究得到了吸附体系的微观几何构型、吸附能、电荷分布等性质,找到了5个可以明显活化甲烷分子的含Au团簇。在这些体系中,Au均吸附在基底团簇V_3O_y~q的O位置,而CH_4均在Au原子上被活化。团簇电荷对活化能力有明显影响,阳离子团簇的活化能力最强,中性体系次之,阴离子团簇的活化能力很弱。测试计算表明引入D3色散矫正对于体系结构和能量的计算结果影响不大。本文作为单原子催化剂上甲烷吸附和活化反应的团簇模型研究,为进一步研究单原子催化剂上甲烷的活化机理提供了基础,也为合理设计低温下甲烷转化的单原子催化剂提供了有益的线索。     

棒状金属有机框架结构PCN-222(Cu)/TiO2复合材料的制备及其高效光催化CO2还原性能

The photocatalytic reduction of CO₂ has attracted considerable attention owing to the dual suppression of environmental pollution and energy shortage. The technology uses solar energy to convert carbon dioxide into hydrocarbon fuel, which is of great significance for achieving the carbon cycle. The development of low-cost photocatalytic materials is critical to achieving efficient solar energy to fuels conversion. One of the most commonly employed photocatalysts is TiO₂. However, it suffers from broad band gap as well as the recombination of photo-excited holes and electron. Hence, in this work, we report the photochemical reduction of CO₂ using rod-like PCN-222(Cu)/TiO₂ composites as photocatalyst through a simple hydrothermal method, in which TiO₂ nanoparticles are anchored at the interface of the SiC rod PCN-222(Cu). Multiple characterization techniques were used to analyze the structure, morphology, and properties of the PCN-222(Cu)/TiO₂ composite. A series of characterizations including X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, photo-electrochemical, and photoluminescence (PL) confirm the successful preparation of PCN-222(Cu)/TiO₂ composites. SEM reveals that the TiO₂ nanoparticles are uniformly distributed on the surface of the rod-shaped PCN-222(Cu)/TiO₂. XRD results show that PCN-222(Cu) and PCN-222(Cu)/TiO₂ composite photocatalysts with good crystal structure were successfully synthesized. According to the DRS results, the prepared PCN-222(Cu)/TiO₂ composite samples exhibit characteristic absorption peaks of metalloporphyrins in the visible region. PL spectroscopy, transient photocurrent response, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy further confirm that the rod-like PCN-222(Cu)/TiO₂ samples have high electron-hole pair separation efficiency. By controlling the mass ratio of PCN-222(Cu) and TiO₂, the photocatalytic CO₂ reduction performance test shows that the 10% PCN-222(Cu)/TiO₂ composite achieves optimal catalytic performance, yielding 13.24 μmol·g⁻¹·h⁻¹ CO and 1.73 μmol·g⁻¹·h⁻¹ CH₄, respectively. All the rod-like PCN-222(Cu)/TiO₂ composites exhibit better photocatalytic CO₂ activity than that of TiO₂ nanoparticles or PCN-222(Cu) under the illumination of xenon lamps, which is attributed to charge transport and electron-hole separation capabilities. After three test cycles, the catalytic activity of PCN-222(Cu)/TiO₂ photocatalyst was virtually unchanged. The reduction yield of the catalyst increased for 8 h under continuous illumination, indicating that PCN-222(Cu)/TiO₂ composites have acceptable stability. The estimation of the band gap curve and the Mote-Schottky curve test show that the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital position of PCN-222(Cu) is more negative than the TiO₂ of the conduction band; hence, a possible photocatalytic reaction mechanism of the PCN-222(Cu)/TiO₂ composite is proposed. This study provides a new strategy for the integration of metal-organic frameworks and oxide semiconductors to construct efficient photocatalytic systems.

微波辅助快速制备2D/1D ZnIn2S4/TiO2 S型异质结及其光催化制氢性能

The threat and global concern of energy crises have significantly increased over the last two decades. Because solar light and water are abundant on earth, photocatalytic hydrogen evolution through water splitting has been considered as a promising route to produce green energy. Therefore, semiconductor photocatalysts play a key role in transforming sunlight and water to hydrogen energy. To date, various photocatalysts have been studied. Among them, TiO₂ has been extensively investigated because of its non-toxicity, high chemical stability, controllable morphology, and high photocatalytic activity. In particular, 1D TiO₂ nanofibers (NFs) have attracted increasing attention as effective photocatalysts because of their unique 1D electron transfer pathway, high adsorption capacity, and high photoinduced electron–hole pair transfer capability. However, TiO₂ NFs are considered as an inefficient photocatalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) because of their disadvantages such as a large band gap (~3.2 eV) and fast recombination of photoinduced electron–hole pairs. Therefore, the development of a high-performance TiO₂ NF photocatalyst is required for efficient solar light conversion. In recent years, several strategies have been explored to improve the photocatalytic activity of TiO₂ NFs, including coupling with narrow-bandgap semiconductors (such as ZnIn₂S₄). Recently, microwave (MW)-assisted synthesis has been considered as an important strategy for the preparation of photocatalyst semiconductors because of its low cost, environment-friendliness, simplicity, and high reaction rate. Herein, to overcome the above-mentioned limiting properties of TiO₂ NFs, we report a 2D/1D ZnIn₂S₄/TiO₂ S-scheme heterojunction synthesized through a microwave (MW)-assisted process. Herein, the 2D/1D ZnIn₂S₄/TiO₂ S-scheme heterojunction was constructed rapidly by using in situ 2D ZnIn₂S₄nanosheets decorated on 1D TiO₂ NFs. The loading of ZnIn₂S₄ nanoplates on the TiO₂ NFs could be easily controlled by adjusting the molar ratios of ZnIn₂S₄ precursors to TiO₂ NFs. The photocatalytic activity of the as-prepared samples for water splitting under simulated solar light irradiation was assessed. The experimental results showed that the photocatalytic performance of the ZnIn₂S₄/TiO₂ composites was significantly improved, and the obtained ZnIn₂S₄/TiO₂ composites showed increased optical absorption. Under optimal conditions, the highest HER rate of the ZT-0.5 (molar ratio of ZnIn₂S₄/TiO₂= 0.5) sample was 8774 μmol·g^-1·h^-1, which is considerably higher than those of pure TiO₂ NFs (3312 μmol·g^-1·h^-1) and ZnIn₂S₄nanoplates (3114 μmol·g^-1·h^-1) by factors of 2.7 and 2.8, respectively. Based on the experimental data and Mott-Schottky analysis, a possible mechanism for the formation of the S-scheme heterojunction between ZnIn₂S₄ and TiO₂ was proposed to interpret the enhanced HER activity of the ZnIn₂S₄/TiO₂heterojunctionphotocatalysts.      

电中性团簇MCu2Ox(M=Cu2+,Ce4+,Zr4+)上甲烷和二氧化碳直接合成乙酸的理论研究

采用密度泛函理论(DFT)方法研究了电中性团簇MCu₂O_x(M=Cu²⁺, Ce⁴⁺, Zr⁴⁺; x=3, 4)的特性及其对甲烷和二氧化碳直接合成乙酸反应的影响. 结果表明, 团簇催化的反应由甲烷C—H活化、 二氧化碳插入引起C-C偶联、 CH₃COO转向和氢迁移4步构成. 前两步为关键步骤, C—H和C-C各自与团簇活性位点间形成四中心结构并推动反应进行. 电子自甲烷流出到团簇, 再流入二氧化碳, 使甲烷的C—H和二氧化碳的C=O得以活化, 继而驱动C-C偶联. Ce, Zr引入至氧化铜团簇中后, 团簇由原有的六元环结构衍变为六元环Ⅰ、 掺杂原子分别位于中心和端末的双四元环Ⅱ和Ⅲ 3种结构. 团簇结构和电子自旋均会影响反应的进行. 低自旋团簇有利于甲烷 C—H活化, 而高自旋团簇则有利于C-C偶联; 在3种掺杂团簇结构中, 处于三重态的结构Ⅲ团簇可以较好地兼顾C—H活化和C-C偶联. 通过比较相同结构发现, Ce, Zr掺杂调变了氧化铜团簇活性位点的局域电荷, 虽使其对甲烷C—H活化的能力略有下降, 但却显著降低了C-C偶联反应的活化自由能垒, 从而促进了反应的进行. 掺杂原子Zr的助剂作用比Ce要大.
